(The USA Today list is based on Opening Day rosters and the disabled lists. Deferred payments and incentive clauses are not included. Team payrolls do not include money paid or received in trades or for players who have been released. This is different than the payrolls used to measure the Competitive Balance Tax, which take into account the 40-man roster and player benefits.)

Notes: Carl Crawford has a $14,857,142 salary this season but USA Today did not count his $6 million signing bonus. ... When you look on this list, you realize why Albert Pujols is playing hardball with the Cardinals. ... The Cubs and Mets are quite adept at throwing money away. ... Crazy that A-Rod, Sabathia and Teixeira are making more ($79,410,714) than 12 entire teams.
